today i sent my landlord a letter asking how puzzled i am that after putting the washing out in the same place for 30 years, that i have in some way contravened my tenacy agreement, I have also asked to see a sighned copy of my tenacy and to please highlight the section that forbids me to hang out my washing contravening the tenacy.

question 1 yes question 2 yes question 3 im the only tenant in the building the flat downstairs is up for sale and empty the existing tenants next door are not protected tenants my tenacy began before 1989

my immediate landlord owns the propety that i live in but not the building that the flat is in

yes thats the bottom line, a rather nasty little woman who is a justice of the peace believe it or not she wants us out so that she can sell the flat

many thanks for your replys the situation i find myself in is quite complicated my flat is in one building and is owned by my landlord but the freehold is owned by the person next door as well asthe house next to mine, when both properties where sold i was in their way as i could not be moved out as im a protected tenant, so im sitting on their profit cause they cant sell the flat for the true market value so the owners are trying to make our lives a misery they complained to my landlord about the washing and they are keeping a dossier on my family. the owner said if i ddid one thing wrong then the landlord would have me out in a flash ( iwish i had that on tape) I find that I am now living with this costant fear of my family making too much noise or if we are doing something wrong, it has ruined my wifes health as she has had a suspected heart attack due to all the stress, we are just a normal family we dont have raves in the middle of the night. i have asked for leagle advice and they told me to get a copy of the new lease so things are going forward. thank you every body who has helped

thankyou for your reply i only have a written letter confirming that i can use the area for washing from my prevoius landlord, it does not say on my agreement anything about washing. surely though if i still follow the original rent agreement under a proted tenacy then the new land lord cannot give me a new agreement with different terms applied

i have been a tenant for 30 years (protected) i now have a new landlord and owner of the property i have used an upstairs patio area for my washing since i have lived here. i got a letter saying that they had a report that i was hanging out my washing and this is a breach of the lease and to stop or they wil take further action now i dont have any new tenacy agreement with my new landlord so how can i be doing anything wrong? also the new owner has asked the tenants next door to keep a dosier on my family to inform them if i do anything wrong, they are trying to get me out but i have not done anything wrong they want to sell the property could any body help with what i should do thanks

hello everyone well guess what! my case has been put on stay till march 2008 or till the outcome of the test case with OFT, so enlightenment as to what i do next would be greatly appreciated while im on the OFT thingy, is any one a betting person out there, what im saying is what are the odds for a great big whitewash???? let me see now Banks, govenment, dodgy judge, gutless OFT, call me ol fashioned but if they rule in our favour can you really see a million tons of the brown smelly stuff hitting the fan, very interesting all this.

hi everybody can anyone tell me, when i send my list to the court and defendents solicitors of court bundle papers that i am using for evidence do i send my witness statement to the court as well and do i send a copy to the defendents solicitor also, or do i just produce this in court at the time of the case. many thanks

hi im really angry at the way they talk to customers i really cant put down the words here what i think about banks, have you tried getting another seperate bank account so you only have your tax credit paid into that account only, the post office do a basic account im told which is supposed to be quite good, i think all the time you owe money to the bank and they can see that money is paid into your account they will take it regardless of however you may try to stop them, try to come up with some arrangement to pay back some of what you owe, are they hammering you with OD charges? because if you dont get into some arrangement they will hit you for everything they can. i had a similar problem of not being able to cover the OD charges and it worked out about £200 a month i was getting done for as well as failed DDs Ect. which really adds up over a few months good luck

forgive me for being a bit thick "whats a pm"?
